Melinda French Gates, who backed President Biden’s reelection campaign last month, shared a heartfelt message on X expressing her gratitude for his service and urging Americans to vote against Donald Trump.
She highlighted President Biden’s extensive public service and effective leadership during a crucial period for the nation. Over the past four years, he has navigated the country through several crises, managing the pandemic response, restoring international relationships, and maintaining economic stability, all while promoting equality and opportunity.
Gates noted that Biden has been a strong supporter of women and girls throughout his career, advocating for their rights during times of significant progress as well as challenging setbacks. She emphasized that his achievements have positively impacted lives, particularly in championing the importance of caregivers in families and the economy.
She expressed her appreciation for Biden’s forward-looking vision and the importance of the upcoming election, warning that the future of the nation hinges on decisions made in the coming months.
Having witnessed the impact of a Trump administration, she cautioned against risking another term. Gates encouraged everyone to educate themselves on the issues, express their beliefs, and vote in the November elections while rallying those around them to do the same.
